A gruelling 900 mile journey! Good luck Jasmine!
She said: “I knew that I wanted to do something to do with swimming for my next challenge because that’s what I’ve done my entire life.“I have a lot more of a personal connection to swimming."Out in the Atlantic, the quickest way you’re going to get home is by rowing, but if you’re going up the coast of the UK, you can actually stop wherever you want to.Jasmine was originally going to swim between Greek Islands but decided to stick with the UK due to the Covid pandemic.
Jasmine believes it will be the longest staged swim a woman has ever completed and admits she doesn't know what to expect as the challenge progresses. She added: “At least with the Atlantic row you know where you’re going and once you’re out, you’re out and off you go.“I was thinking of doing the channel or the width of the UK, but then last year I did a marathon with Sean Conway, who swam the length of Great Britain and I just thought, well why don’t I do that?
